Stole My Heart ❤️ {A Jackson Avery love story}

Chapter 57:

Cristina texted me to go over to Mer's house to talk to her so right now, we're laying in Mer's bed talking about her problems.

Cristina: what are your other symptoms?
Meredith: okay, there's the father thing... the mother thing... mmm, the dying and coming back to life thing.
Delilah: I share that dying and coming back to life thing with you Mer. Also, you have too many things.
Cristina: baby Shepherd is right. You have too many things.
Meredith: I can't sleep. I can't sleep without the dreaming.
Cristina: and the panic attacks.
Meredith: one. One panic attack.
Delilah: still Mer.
Meredith: what's wrong with me?
Delilah: as far as we can tell, severe abandonment issues.
Meredith: that's crap. Psych is crap. Issues?
Cristina: I mean, it's... it's in the book. The book said it, not us.
Delilah: Mer, have you considered that maybe you and my dad should stop... having breakup sex?
Meredith: the more available he gets... the more I pull away.
Cristina: what do you mean?
Meredith: nothing.
Delilah: it's a Derek Shepherd thing Cris. You won't understand.

-at the hospital-

I'm walking down the hallway with Mark as I talk about this morning with Mer.

Delilah: so now, Meredith is trying to make me along with Cristina psychoanalyze her or whatever all because she can't stop having breakup sex.
Mark: sex is good. You shouldn't try to analyze Grey.
Delilah: shut up man whore.

Mark playfully scoffs at me then nudges me as I see my dad talking to Erica Hahn.

Delilah: hey, it's Dr. Hahn. Let's go say hi!

We run up to the Chief, Hahn and my dad.

Webber: and this is Dr. Mark Sloan, head of Plastics. And this is Dr. Delilah Shepherd. Erica Hahn.
Mark: ah, the new Burke.
Delilah: it's good to see you again Dr. Hahn.
Dad: welcome. Excuse us.

I stand in between Mark and my dad as we walk down the hall. My dad starts talking about his conversation with the Chief about a "gentlemen's evening".

Mark: what exactly is a gentlemen's evening?
Dad: I don't know. It's an evening with gentlemen.
Mark: and strippers?
Delilah: god, I hope not.
Dad: I don't think the Chief meant strippers.
Mark: sure sounds like strippers.

I smile when I see Bailey approaching us.

Mark: Dr. Bailey. What's the first thing that comes to mind when I say the words "gentlemen's evening"?
Bailey: tassels. Shiny sequinned tassels and one dollar bills.
Mark: see? Strippers.
Dad: there will be no strippers. I'm almost positive.
Mark: so you don't know what this thing is either?
Dad: no, but you're in?
Mark: why not? I like to be surprised.
Dad: care to join us Del?
Delilah: I don't know man.
Dad: come on.
Delilah: fine.

-ambulance bay-

I grab a trauma gown and I walk out to the ambulance bay where Cristina and Meredith are.

Cristina: this is it... Hahn is in the hospital, freakin' Izzie is on her service again. I'm gonna ride this trauma train straight back into cardio.
Callie: okay, what do we got?
Meredith: uh, two ambulances, multiple traumas.
Alex: any chance you need a resident's help Dr. Torres?
Callie: as long as you want to smash bones into dust while people cry.
Delilah: I'm down.
Alex: sweet.
Delilah: what do we got?
Cristina: chest pain, tamponade, ruptured aorta?
Paramedic: uh, more like a clown car. Jackie Escott, 25 years old, dislocated shoulder, lac to her thigh, vital signs are stable. And Helena Boyd, 26 years old, also stable with obvious nasal fracture, facial lacs and a chunk of missing scalp.
Helena: she ripped out my hair.
Jackie: she ripped out my shoulder!
Helena: you ripped out your own shoulder when you were trying to push me off of the platform!
Fiancé 1: who let go of the dress? Did anybody let go of the dress?
Fiancé 2: hang in there honey. Don't let her psych you out, okay?
Callie: okay, what the hell's all this?
Judge: it's a store contest. I'm the judge. Last one to let go of the dress—
Helena: wins the wedding of my dreams.
Jackie: of my dreams!
Callie: alright, enough! You two are injured, okay? You need to get your priorities straight and let go of the...
